When Lopez de Legaspi died in 1572, Governor-General Guido de Lavezaris took his place but did not honor the agreements done between Lakandula and his predecessor and even tolerated Spanish abuses. The Spanish took over their lands and encomienderos oppressed Filipinos. Because of this, Lakandula together with Rajah Sulayman led a revolt against the Spanish in the villages of Navotas. The revolt did not succeed and Governor-General Lavezaris, with the help of Spanish and Filipino colonial troops, was able to stop the rebellion and restore order in Manila.
